Clara Mariner wa one of the most en-
easinc girls who held sway in a rather
circumscribed circle. She was ever wei
come in Mrs. Benton's home and was
somewhat sought after by quite a number
of vounglnen who had beer Introduced
10 her at parties and receptions.
For years Clara had been Mrs. Benton's
choice for Ed. Ed. however had never ia
ken any great liking to his mothers choice.
Inclined to early obesity, her fairness had
not drawn with arms Of strengthening love
the hayward heart of the older scion OF
the house Of Benton. She was too gross
Tor Edwards idea of femenine excellence.
Too much Of a lump Of female prepon-
.derance for his acceptance.
But being one Of Mrs. Benton's favorite
Ed. was often brought in contact with her.
Mrs. Benton's sitting room was a favorlte
resort for those who were included among
her friends. There was a piano, fashion
plates. books, music and periodicals for
Mrs. Benton was not only a good mother
but also as she esteemed herself an edu-
Gator of the young.
So She had Harper and Leslie, Godey's
Magazine, the Waverly and some junior
publications for the edification Of her
young people.
Not only young people came to her
modest sitting room, but also those whose
cheerful older days had preserved the
ripper hues of sociability and blended with
small talk the pleasant things Of expert
ence.
Not very old, only IS, was Mrs. Seaman,
a sister Of Clara.
Captain Mariner, an old sea dos Of the
most pronounced type had come ashore to
spend his days and dollars in peace, and
with that bluff belief in the eternal fitness
Of things which characterized his flat as
sertion MAN makes money" had upon
shat principle made his eldest daughter
the wife OF a very careful though com
sumptiye ranch owner, James Owens.
Mrs. Owens had inherited from her father
the same n0tlOn. mar makes iiiouey anu

had got him in debt for a new set OF fur
niture, had made the grocer's bill show
that French peas and musheroons had de
lectated his palate, Lad made sundry bills
run so high that he was much surprised
but unquestioningla raid them. Unlike
her sister Clara Mrs. Owens was the soul
Of good nature. No ones complaints, no
ones misfortune's could in the least dis
turb Mrs. Owens happiness. Her husband
who on their marriage day had a bank &C
count Of $4,000, had through visits to the
springs, doctors bills and other expenses
reduced his original capital to almost moth
ing and in the innocence Of his invalid

CHAPTER VIII.
A CHOICE.

Mrs. Benson had with the acutness OF
mothers arranged a little lunch party to
which she had invited Capt. Mariner and
his daughter. His daughter was suppos-
ed to be Clara, but with a Yankee sailors
Derveresness he saw fit to bring his daugh-
tiers. So Mrs. Owens came as well as Clara
and during the afternoon Edward Benton
fonnd himself better amused and more e
gagged with Mrs. Owens than with Clara.
With that astuteness which matchmaking
mothers pride themselves, Mrs. Benton
imagined her sons attention to Clara Mar
iner were voluntary, and genuine, and con-
sidered his smiles and regard for Mrs.
Owens welfare only casual and as gentle
manly as her son would naturally extend
to any lady guest beneath her roof ssand at
her table.
Mrs. Owens had heard of Eds abilities
in the political field; had heard as married
women are apt to hear of the estimation
in which he was held not only among his
fellows but also among the fair SEX
Having no heart nor sympathy with her
liege lord, James, whose puny frame in
spired her with no great degree of admi-
ration. She with tickle loyalty transfer
red her worship to Mrs. Benton's tall,
slender son. With such arts as Clara had
never vet known she attracted Eds atten-
ton, and with a semi-reserved confidence,
won his sympathy.
She did not in plain terms tell him that
her husband was no longer a fit mate for
the buxom woman who looked with liquid
melting eyes at him with enquiring gaze
nor did she in any manner suggest that
Clara was unrespondingly cold to his wit
ty and gallant advances. 1t was a plain
case. He was infatuated. She was deter
mined upon a conquest.
Clara, for whose benefit the lunch party
had been given, walked out Of Mrs. Ben
TONS door On her fathers arm, while the

had Ed. for her escort.
CHAPTER X.
CONFIDENCE

AS he walked down the street after hay-
ing hidden Capt. Mariner and his daugh-
tiers good evening, Ed. was forced to admit
that of the two, Kate was the mos attrac-
tive, most brilliant and most fascinating.
That she was Mrs. Owens weighed moth
ing in his mind, nor did he at all consider
her but in the light of a jolly good ac-
quaintance. A friend, yes, and he half
was sorry she wasn't a man. Hadn't she
talked freely 20 him about the temptations
which young we're subject to. Had
she not com ed the necessity which
forced him Ak. Did she not even
pity the late hours he was forced to spend
in company with disagreeable but perhaps
available people. In a word She had got
his heart, at least that part Of it which was
approachable though confidence, and as
he neared the corner the chorus of jolly
voices led him in among the crowd who
were having IA noisy and not very temper
ate festival.

WOMAN.

Smooth George had the floor and was
with usual magniloquence e~xaiting the
power and beauty of Kentucky's red wine.
IF on high Olympus the mighty Jove
could but drink such inspiring tjpple, the
world would have showers of heaven sent
drink" lie exclaimed as Ed. entered.
.iIave some nectar, Ed" he added as
the Colonel stepped inside.
"Give me some Of corn's inspiring
juice" was his reply to Georges invita-
ton.
Whether the inspiring juice OF corn
made the Colonel brighter than usual or
not, certain it was that on that night no
member of the Angels said more pertinent
savings, nor toasted woman half SO well OF
CALAMITY as did Ed. Benton. With rudy
glass raised by uncertain nand the Colonel
called his companions to attention.
"For advice or consolation in youth OF
age. in success or failure, in triumph OF
| defeat, mans best friend is a woman and
they applauded and drank to his toast. He
believed what he said, but had not YET
considered how far his sentiment might
be qualified or restricted.

Later in the day when ran upon an

Photography has never reproduced nat
ural coiors. Scientists explain this fact
by the statement that color has no OBJ
Jective existence. II is simply the brains
interpretatieh Of the rapidity with which
the waves Of n ray Of light beat against
the retina. Beats more rapid produce the
sensation OF the mind known rs violet;
beats less rapid, that known as red Violet
and red are nothing but variations of the
ether until they reach the optic nerve and
communicate to that the vibrations, which
the brain translates. To photograph
color is therefore as imoossible as to
photograph sound.-Frank Leslie's.
